And the last one: Does anyone know
about future plans for tk.wii to get the information
of the Nunchuk-controller and classic controller
and what about controlling the speaker and the
rumble inside the controller?

i was just wondering what people have to say about using this object. i have been able to use the aka.wiimote extension on the mac, and was hoping this would be as powerful as that.

i tried using the object and got no response, then downloaded the bluesoleil and installed, but it seems that bluesoleil only works with external bluetooth, my laptop have bluetooth built in, so if it is true that this tk.wii only works with the bluesoleil bluetooth manager i would have to buy a dongle so i could use the software (seems odd, but if it works :P)

anyway, i was just looking for some concrete feedback before i dropped the cash for a dongle.

Until two weeks ago, I was using it happily with GlovePie and BlueSoleil, while I still had WinXP home edition SP1. I then had the time to do an installation of WinXPpro SP2, including a new installation of the BlueSoleil which came with my dongle. The device is recognized and connects just fine, the same as it did before, but neither GlovePie or tk.wii recognize it, even after trying at length to make it work.

There is one difference: I installed WinXPpro into a folder called "Windows2" for fear of losing something important. Is it possible that GlovePie and tk.wii are looking for something in the "windows" folder?

Another possibility is that the Wii somehow pairs with the computer or the hardware and leaves a digital ID somewhere (there are posts in other forums which point to this)?

Hi, just to clarify,
Do I NEED to bluesoleil dongle to use tk.wii, or just the drivers?
Can i use my internal bluetooth, or do I need SOME external dongle?
Is there a particular dongle that works best?

I worked with bleusoleil for some time with
an external dongle. Now I have a new laptop
with an internal bleutooth with software:
bleutooth stack for windows by toshiba
v4.00.35
bleutooth: 2.0, 2.1, 1.1

I wish I had this before. This software remembers my wii-motes.
Bluesoleil takes 1 or 2 whole minutes to find and connect the wiimotes. this thing takes 10 seconds hooray.

I don’t use wii.tk anymore, I use glovepie
and midiyoke. The list of sensors is much
more complete with glovepie. I hope one day
a maxexternal will be there wich is good enough.
better resolution than midiyoke…

NO, you don’t need to use Bluesoleil. Some built-in bluetooth drivers work fine – you can’t use the *standard* windows bluetooth driver, because it isn’t a full-featured driver. Many laptops come with a better set of driver, though. I know this first-hand – HP laptops have worked for us in the past with stock drivers.
